Will Smith, Janet Hubert Rebuild Relationship After Decades-Long Feud

Janet Hubert, known for her role as Aunt Vivian on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, has publicly discussed her reconciliation with Will Smith after a feud lasting more than three decades. Their conflict originated from Hubert's departure from the show in 1993 due to creative differences and Smith's subsequent criticism of her, which severely impacted her career. The two publicly resolved their differences during the 2020 HBO Max reunion special, where Smith apologized for misjudging Hubert's value and acknowledged the difficulties she faced. Hubert described their current relationship as "so good," noting they frequently text and that Smith even supported her recent animated project by providing social media assistance. Hubert referred to a recent visit to Atlanta's V-103 radio station as returning to "the scene of the crime," symbolizing their journey from conflict to healing. Both actors have since expressed mutual respect and moved forward from their past disputes.
